The giveaway is part of Discover’s “unplug and reconnect” marketing campaign, which targets winter-weary northerners who are looking for a vacation to reconnect with friends and family.

The prize includes:

3-night stay at The Breakers Palm Beach

Admission to Lion Country Safari

$100 Gardens Mall Shopping Spree

$100 Meal at Guanabanas

4-Day Enterprise Rental Car

$500 American Express Card

Entries must be received by midnight EST on Thursday — March 12. The contest is open to legal residents of the 50 United States, and the District of Columbia, who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry. The winner will be selected “on or around” March 16.

In January, Discover unveiled a new 60-second commercial, called “Unplug and Reconnect in The Palm Beaches,” on stations in Boston, New York, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Those markets are among the county’s most important tourism generators because of the large number of flights to Palm Beach International Airport.

Although the television spot is designed to appeal to a wide variety of travelers, county tourism leaders hope mothers and families will find it especially captivating. Women typically control a family’s travel decisions, tourism leaders said.

The tourism agency is also using still images from the television spot as part of its print and digital marketing.

Burlington, a national off-price retailer, plans to open a 55,000-square-foot store on Okeechobee Boulevard just west of Interstate 95.

The store, which is set to open in the fall, will be located at the Westward Shopping Center, which is also home to an Aldi supermarket. The store’s opening will create 50-100 new jobs, the company announced.

“We are thrilled to open a new Burlington in the West Palm Beach community, bringing even more jobs to the neighborhood and providing local residents with a valued shopping experience,” says Tom Kingsbury, chairman and CEO, Burlington Stores.

The Westward Shopping Center lost three large tenants — Old Navy, Sports Authority, and PetSmart — when the “Marketplace” area at Palm Beach Outlets opened last fall. The 300,000-square-foot Marketplace at the Outlets houses roughly 20 stores, most of which will are national chains and big box retailers.

Burlington boasts that it offers styles up to 65 percent off department store prices. The new West Palm Beach store will feature ladies’ dresses, suits, sportswear, juniors, accessories, menswear, family footwear and children’s clothing. It will also include a broad assortment of furniture and accessories for baby at Baby Depot, home décor and gifts, along with the largest selection of coats in the nation.

Before you head to the stores this March, check out these recommendations from national deal experts.

Luggage: With the respective slump in travel between the peak seasons of winter holidays and summer vacations, luggage manufacturers will offer sales to spur consumer interest. Shoppers can save as much as 70%.

Chocolate: Boxes of Valentine’s Day chocolates are sitting on store shelves, prompting price cuts to get the sweet treats out the door before they expire. Sales will range from 40%-60% off.

Outerwear: Those heavy coats and fleeces are taking up valuable space on the rack for new spring lines. Retailers will offer deals of up to 70% off.

Smartphones: The Mobile World Congress will take place March 2-5, compelling electronics retailers to clear out 2014 inventory to make room for new models. Expect discounts of 70% or more and select freebie deals with new phone plans.

What Not to Buy

Spring apparel: Retailers are counting on consumers’ excitement for warmer weather to overcome any possible sticker shock with new spring lines. Shoppers should wait for May or June to update their wardrobe.

Patio furniture: Retailers are happy to let customers pay full price for the new lines of patio furniture that have just hit stores. If you can survive with your current patio set, wait for summer to get a better deal.

Grills: You might want to upgrade the old Weber or try out propane for the first time, but doing so now will cost you. Wait for August clearance sales to get the most bang for your buck.

New iPhones: March will bring significant discounts for many Android devices, but iPhone fans will have to wait for similar savings. Check for clearance sales on 2014 models in August.
